SUMMARY:Long-range Hawkweed Searching on the Bogong High Plains
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\,Following our week-long grid surveys during the summer\, we are planning on running a 3 day\, long-range survey for the state-prohibited Hawkweed.\n\n\n\n\n\nDates: 30th of March to the 1st of April.Recommended arrival on Sunday afternoon/evening (29th)Monday: 8:30am Meeting/Briefing.Aim to start the survey at 9am each day\, with a flexible finish time around 3pm.Departure: Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning (2nd).At this stage\, the plan is to base camp at Pretty Valley due to its proximity to areas of Mouse-Ear Hawkweed and also the potential to explore up into areas of Rocky Knobs for King Devil and Orange Hawkweed.Long-range surveys are a little different to the intensive line searches of 1-hectare grids that volunteers usually assist with. Long-range searches have been conducted in the past to explore and search across larger areas of the landscape\, around and beyond where computer modelling has placed formal grids.Long-range surveys are often carried out over several kilometres\, through a variety of terrain that may at times be steep\, densely vegetated and rocky\, requiring a good level of fitness and health.It’s important to note that this is a campout\, not an accommodation session. If it’s too wet and rainy\, we may have to decide against running the session.Please email: hawkweederadication.volunteer@gmail.com for signup and additional information.
